Abstract
This chapter starts with a short overview about anatomical structures of the temporal bone which are relevant to know for the interpretation of CT images. Furthermore, technical points for achieving optimal multi-slice CT images of this region are briefly summarised. The major part builds the current importance of CT in the diagnostics of common and less common ear diseases in the context with other methods.
